 y cognitive criticism (also known as cognitive poetics\, cognitive narrato
 logy\, literary affect theory\, embodied cognition\, along with a number o
 f other labels) has become a noticeable direction of international childre
 n's literature research\, visible in recent publications and conference pr
 esentations. The first Cambridge symposium in 2014 mapped existing researc
